Your grandfather would be pleased you continued on the trip
You just can't fight it when the body needs some rest. You've been through a lot emotional and physical. The river cruise sounded nice and a great bargain. Never too much roti. Happy travels

Tioman is the best
Hey guys, just read this entry about Pulau Tioman - spent a week there during my trip and loved it just as much as you did. Also liked Malaka (your next blog entry) and then spent about three month just down the road from Malaka. Finally, I so agree with your views of KL and it feeling quite homely, couldnt have expressed it any different...

What a beautiful location
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. We are glad you could alter your plans and be with your family. Your beach hut looked great. The Philippines will be waiting for you.

Paradise!
I've heard that Ubud is paradise, and your photos and adventures there seem to confirm this. Loved your videos--that fire dance was primal, a little scary and exciting, while the others were so exotic and graceful. Great blog!

Enjoyed your blog
Same old Kuta but worse eh? Glad you were there at Nyepi have always wondered how the tourists would behave. Good to see you are giving the place a second chance

Nice Blogs
Great to see your blogs again, sorry I won't be able to do a file this time as I am now busy getting ready to go to Spain at the end of the month to live. I will have a new email by then but I don't think I am allowed to put links on this sight, but geordie will have it. Have a great time with your travels and I look forward to more blogs

Paradise found?
This area looks and sounds so ideal! It's nice to know that it hasn't been overrun by tourism as a result of its TV fame.

Hello Sir
Thank Ali. I have been playing around with some of our point and shoot pictures in Snapseed while we wait for our other one to be fixed in Manila. Have to say i really like the HDR effect but trying not to get tempted by using to much.

Back in 2008 we took 21 months off work, rented out the house, found a foster home for Stuart (cat!) and ventured out to the big wide world. We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days! After our return we fell into the routine of life back in the UK but have always planned to get back out there as soon as we could. It took a bit longer than we'd hoped but we did squeeze in getting married and a few holidays ... full info
